Oh how I love pink. Which is probably why I chose it as my wedding colors. I actually chose to use light pink and a darker or hot pink. My fiance's groomsmen will boast coordinating black tuxes with light pink vest and ties and darker pink boutonnieres and my bridesmaids will wear dark pink dresses. I found my wedding dress yesterday! It's an amazing dress. So in celebration of my upcoming wedding this post is dedicated to everything pink. Here are some great "pink" finds.

These pink chrysanthemum earrings are so cute. They have so much detail in ever little petal and the bright pink color is just popping with excitement. These can be found in the Etsy shop of dangsworld.

Every girl loves herself some great bath products. I know I sure do. What better to lather your body in than pink buttercream scented body polish. Mmmm how delightful that must be. Pick yourself or a girl friend one of these up today in the Etsy shop of CozyMoments.

These cookies look almost (almost) too good to eat. These would be the perfect addition to any wedding or bridal shower. I would love to have these at my wedding and this one is all ready ready for my big day with the B on it. :) Check out these and more edible goodies in the Etsy shop of cakeboxcookies.

Paper pom pom's are the new thing. You can find them in kits from Wal Mart to Michael's. Martha Stewart is even selling paper pom pom kits now. These dainty paper pom pom flowers are situated on a silver wires. These would add a girly touch to any room. I could really see them placed in a milk glass vase. These are from the Etsy shop of PomLove.

And from my own shop is this lovely fabric covered switch plate cover. This switch plate has been covered in Michael Millers Dandy Damask fabric in pink. This switch plate will add an instant update to any room at an affordable price. Find this and more in my Etsy shop cms36451.

These just might be the cutest hang tags I've ever seen. These are great for attaching to Easter gifts. Each pink bunny has been hand stamped on an oatmeal color hang tagged and then pink glitter and pom pom's were added. Those pink pom pom tails are the cutest things! These probably won't last long so go over to the Etsy shop of jillzabell and grab them before they're gone.

May you and yours have the luck of the Irish!

All About Cassie

First and foremost I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, and friend. I love God and my family. In June of 09 I said I do to the man I love, Tony. Tony and I are parents to a baby boy who is waiting for us in Heaven. His name is Noah and he was born in Sept. of 2007 and passed away at 2 weeks old. Since then my life has been a roller coaster, well it was before then, but even more since. I can def. say my roller coaster has been filled with way more uphill rides than downhills and the twist and turns bring all sorts of things. I'm outspoken, hard headed, independent, a leader, a lover of all people, sometimes moody when I need my space, my mama is my best friend and my daddy is my biggest fan. I love my family and I'll do anything for them. I'm a bit of a rebel and roll to the beat of my own drum, even if it's offbeat at times. I often stumble, but I never fall.
